Lord of the Lost - OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 (2025)


OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 marks a bold transformation for Lord of the Lost—ushering in a darker, theatrical era with sweeping ambition and emotional depth. The album opens with the grandiose “Bazaar Bizarre,” fusing symphonic power with moody intimacy. Across its 11 tracks, the band navigates a rich stylistic range: the soaring duet “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness” (featuring Within Temptation) bleeds with emotional resonance, while “Moonstruck” brings haunting drama with dark choral layers. Industrial throb and industrial grit collide in “Damage,” while the vibrant collaboration “Lords of Fyre" unleashes mythic energy alongside Feuerschwanz. The album maintains momentum through richly layered orchestration, punchy riffs, and charismatic vocals, culminating in “Dreams Are Never Alone,” a tender yet powerful finale. Critics broadly agree this is Lord of the Lost’s most confident and compelling opus—an immersive journey into gothic grandeur.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
